About Anieka

Anieka Dicker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with ten years of professional experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and motivation. She also addresses relationship and career worries, anger, depression, and coping with life changes.

Her background includes parent education training in Circle of Security and Nurturing Parenting. In sessions she aims to create a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate space.

Background and approach

She listens to each person’s story and tailors conversations and plans to match what they need. She acknowledges the emotional harm caused by racism and validates the lived experiences of BIPOC individuals. Her work includes helping people manage overwhelm, build confidence, and navigate family problems like blended family issues and attachment concerns.

She also supports people dealing with postpartum depression, ADHD-related challenges, and compulsive behaviors. Financial stress, immigration concerns, and feelings of isolation are other areas she addresses. She uses practical strategies drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and Motivational Interviewing to boost readiness for change.

Clients can expect direct conversation, goal-setting, and skills practice when those approaches are helpful. Parents who are looking for guidance around child-rearing, family dynamics, or strengthening communication may find her approach useful. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and works with each client to build a realistic plan they can try between sessions.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replace them with more balanced thinking. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems that respond well to concrete skill-building.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on increasing a person’s own motivation to change. It uses open conversation and gentle reflection to help people clarify goals and find the reasons they want to move forward. This approach can be useful for situations where motivation feels stuck or uncertain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. They will adapt methods over time so the plan fits the client’s needs and life circumstances.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical options for busy families. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work and caregiving, and to use brief check-ins when needed. The variety of formats supports continuity of care and helps clients keep progress moving forward on days when in-person visits are not possible.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
